Robetron had it right in the last post's comments, wow wow and WOW that was one hell of a finale!! I don't have time to write up a proper recap but wanted to get the post up here so people could start chatting about it.Soooo many new questions...now we know Jacob is (was) a real "person" and Locke really did intend to kill him...but who is Locke?!? With his body still in its coffin, how is Locke walking around alive and well? And was he in the first place back on the beach w/ Jacob hundreds of years ago?
We now know the "incident" was not caused by the bomb, the incredible magnetic energy was unleashed before it went off (though Miles made me question whether that would happen). Now that Juliette successfully detonated the bomb, what's going to happen?!?

New to this blog, but totally in love with LOST...
...and yeah; Wow! for the finale. I am struggling to figure out how I'm going to hang out this wait until next season.
Still mourning Juliet (and also still refuse to believe she is actually dead), but will post back here when my thoughts are actually coherent -- so much happened!
Really looking forward to hearing what everyone else's reactions were :D
I always love to read Jace's recap on televisionaryblog.com after watching an episode of "Lost". He has an encyclopedic knowledge of the show and is obviously a diehard fan.
In so many ways, "Alias" was a show that happened to soon (for instance, no Blu-ray release) and I can't help but think that I would have loved to have been able to read this dude's recaps after every episode of the Bristow Files.
I'm going to have to take a better look at that blog, Page. I'm positive I've been on there before and read some of Jace's LOST Recaps.
Good stuff.
And I agree; would have loved to read ALIAS Recaps from the guy.
Welcome ILA4E! :)
This is sort of random but I've heard a couple people talking about how they're sad that they killed Juliette but hope Sayid (or others) will be ok. I'm thinking...didn't they kill everyone?? I mean that bomb went off, there's no way anyone on the Island could have survived. Yeah they dropped Juliette down a pit to "kill" her, but sort of saved the day by knocking the crap out of the dud bomb. So I guess my questions is, if they killed Juliette, doesn't that mean they killed everyone?
One of my other friends (and fellow blogger David) drew a comparison of Juliette w/ the bomb to Bruce Willis in Armageddon, which I can see. Only real difference is she didn't volunteer to die...
Thank you for the welcome, SRG! :D
I've never thought of it like that, and really, it is logical to assume that a nuclear bomb is going to kill anyone and everyone on the island... (with maybe some exceptions).
I think our reasoning is being influenced by the belief that the bomb is going to "reset" time to before... everything, really -- basically Jack's reason for wanting to detonante the bomb.
I am so excited to see what the final pay off is, and how it comes about; I love how intricate and tangled everything is.
Going to re-watch the finale ASAP -- I can bet there are some things I missed (or didn't/couldn't make sense of) :)
Here's a thought. If the Hatch - the Swan - was blown to bits 30 years before the crash of Flight 815, there may be a great number of things that are different.
My first thought, if they managed to change the course of time, is that, even though the guy inhabiting the bodies of dead people managed to arrange for Ben to kill Jacob, the bomb changed all that. Locke's flight never crashed; he never was the pawn of manipulative-killer-guy. Ben's daughter was never murdered (w/o the Losties, those events leading to it never would have occurred), and thus he was never forced to attempt to kill Jacob.
I don't think the writers will attempt a complete revision of the story. I think Miles was right. Our time-traveling Losties probably were the cause of the catastrophic event that drove the Dahrma Initiative to send everyone off the island at the warning of Daniel Faraday.
I think, without the bomb, the electromagnetism would have simply pulled enough material toward the hole to fill it up, protecting the energy source. The bomb, in my theory, corrupted the island's magnetic properties with it's fall-out, resulting in the death of pregnant women. I don't think they changed the course of history, but rather fulfilled it.
I don't know where the show is going from here, but I honestly don't believe they now have license to re-write everything that happened.
-R.
Ahh that's quite possible that the bomb enhanced the magnetic properties, which eventually caused 815 to crash, though w/ the Swan and Dharma folks blown to bits, who would build the Hatch?
I also doubt they'd do a complete revision of the story, that would be just as bad as one of the characters waking up and finding the last 5 years of Lost events (for the viewers) was just a dream. I wonder though if that means we'll get to see some old characters like Shannon, Echo and the mysterious Libby...
Juliette's new gig.
Hmmm... the "V" remake looks pretty good. There may still be hope for something to watch next season.
I agree that history is probably just still on track and that the bomb just was part of the "incident". I'm not quite sure that works scientifically, but I'll wave my hands at it if that is what the writers go with. Maybe the natural energy/pull there (and the bomb was really deep) is so strong that it contained the majority of the explosion and so everybody except Juliette is fine.
Charlie (lead singer of Drive Shaft, as opposed to Desmond's boy, or Charlotte, or Widmore) looks to be headed to "Flash Forward", a new sci-fi show we covered on LTA a while back.
